Re: [webcomponents] Finalize the slots proposal (#128)

Interoperability. A precisely defined list ensures that we don't have to hunt down subtle bugs across multiple implementations.

Sadly, no. The _synchronous action_ is mostly a spec construct to precisely describe the cause and effect. It is unlikely that browser implementations will even use the exact algorithm for implementations.
